“The holidays are synonymous with that fresh-cut Christmas tree smell for me,” says Jade Timmerman of JNT Interiors. “I can’t wait until November rolls around and I break out my favorite holiday scent candle. I love this one because it’s a light scent and makes a great gift, especially the oversized 5-wick version which ensures you can enjoy this wonderful, woodsy scent the entire season.”
